You are not required to have a CDL to HotShot. See this link:

I don't care about hotshotting. I was just using them as an example of someone who stays under 26K, regardless of what the truck/trailer GVWR's are. The thing that I'm trying to get my head wrapped around is whether or not it's how much you weigh, or how much you COULD weigh, and how that applies to RV's.
According to this site:
http://changingears.com/rv-sec-state-rv-license.shtml
Kansas requires a Class A or B non-commercial if you're over 26K GVWR
or GCWR. And, that's been in place since at least Feb 2014. I have never heard of this law, and I looked on their website for quite a while last, and I couldn't find anything to support this. I also couldn't find anything on how to get a Class A/B, or what they even are. That's another matter.
If all of this is the law, and GCWR is the number your license needs to be good for, if you own a dually that has a 14K GVWR, you are limited to a 12K GVWR 5er, and that ain't very big...
